New Books, designs etc






Happy Saturday Everyone,

Candy P, sent me a photo of her bag weeks ago, but I am just getting around to posting it. Candy took my Free Form Knitting/Crochet class, in NH, and is fast becoming a great free former. Candy is working very hard starting up a new CGOA chapter in Poughkeepsie, NY, if you are anywhere in the area, you can contact Candy here; dochevita@gonowmail.com

Weeks go flying by, but things are getting done. I submitted my class proposals for both upcoming conferences in 2011. I've submitted classes in both knitting and crochet, so hopefully I will be there teaching. If not teaching, I plan on attending any way, because conference are such great fun.

I am well into my new book, constantly creating, sketching, ordering yarn, oh, and doing a lot of crocheting too. This week I also finished a project due Oct 15th, well finished the project, not the instructions, that's the hard part. Yesterday I had news of another design acceptance for a great magazine, love that a lot. Yarn arriving daily for new projects, such fun.

This very interesting article was posted on the international freeform group this morning, thought I'd share it with you, http://magazine.wsj.com/features/phenomenon-features/a-gripping-yarn/

Don't forget to check out the new book Crochet Master Class by Jean Leinhauser and Rita Weiss, that I told you about last week. Due out December 7th, it is available for pre order on amazon, and it is fast climbing up the list of the top 100 crochet books. It was number 3 when I checked a few minutes ago.

Forgot to add, check out both my new books, The Complete Photo Guide to Knitting and the Complete Photo Guide to Crochet, both available on amazon.com

Have a great weekend everyone

Margaret
